Hello. I have an issue with the use of \not in math mode, but I am not
sure if the poblem is with LyX or LaTeX itself.

When I try to write "aRb" with the R negated, the diagonal which is
supposed to go over the R does not appear in the right place. I've
tried each of the following, both in ERT and using LyX's math
interface:

$a\not Rb$      result: big space between a and R, / just a little over R.
$a\not R b$     result: same
$a\not{R}b$     result: same
$a{\not R}b$    result: smaller space between a and R, but / still not
completely over R.
$a{\not{R}}b$   result: same

It seems that the only way to make it look right is with negative
spaces, but that seems like an ugly hack. Is there any way to negate
the "right" way?
